List of programs that ZA Pro is not Compatible with?

Is there a list of programs that Zone Alarm has problems with? I have many programs installed on my computer and had to uninstall Zone Alarm Pro because of problems. I could not figure out where the problems were. When I installed ZA, the problems disappeared. I assume ZA has such information, based on inquiries to Technical Support and questions on these forums. I have tried to find the information using Search, but I don't think I'm getting all the hits that might be out there.

Re: List of programs that ZA Pro is not Compatible with?

There is no "standard" list that can be gathered and given that will be viable "today and forever" ; software is always changing/ upgrading - what may have been a software conflict > can/will often be solved by the companies themselves or by a little user adjustments [which version of software -whether older or newer/ latest versions - can be a factor].

Basic ZA: most new pc/ laptops come with pre-installed/ trial security software (even if not activated) some or all of it must be "properly un-installed" depending on which ZA product you wish to install; otherwise there is a good possibility for problems. (have you done this?) [what have you done?.... first time install of ZA?]

One firewall, not two. One anti-virus, not two.

Sometimes there can be conflict with security software that has "real-time" protection/ HIPS/ IDS or modules with firewall-like capability.

Sometimes, the brand of pc comes into play. Example 'Acer' has a software, that if not upgraded or un-installed caused "known" issues (as far as this forum has in it's postings - this you won't find in "official" tech support - but we found it here).

Re: List of programs that ZA Pro is not Compatible with?

it may be due to using an Older version of zone Alarm, or Too many other programs starting up in the backgrown?

or Other Programs conflicting with Zone Alarm..
